How much is 120 Nm (120 Newton Metres) in lb-ft?
Newton-meters (Nm) and foot-pounds (ft/lbs) are the metric and imperial measures for torque, which measures the way in which a force turns an object around an axis. One foot-pound (ft/lb) is equal to 1.356 newton-meters (Nm). To convert newton-meters (Nm) to foot-pounds (ft/lbs) all you need to do is divide your figure (Nm) by 1.356.120 Nm is a very common torque specification for the wheel bolts on a wide variety of German cars.
120 Nm = 88.49 lb-ft
However, many mechanics in North America use a torque wrench setting of 90 lb-ft when aiming to torque a wheel bolt or lug nut to the imperial equivalent of 120 Nm, but the exact setting should be 88.49 lb-ft.
